???? World Hearing Day 2025 | #HearingCareForAll “Hearing is a precious thing. If you can’t hear, you don’t have life.” These powerful words from a beneficiary of community-based hearing care remind us why accessible hearing solutions matter—especially for those in low-income communities where hearing loss often goes unaddressed. This year’s World Hearing Day theme focuses on making ear and hearing care a reality for all. At the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Prevention of Deafness and Hearing Loss at the University of Pretoria , we are committed to championing solutions that bridge the gap in hearing care access. Through our partnership with the hearX Foundation NPC , we are bringing innovative, scalable hearing care to underserved communities, restoring not just hearing but dignity, inclusion, and opportunity. ?? Watch how hearing aids are transforming lives ?? Shout out to Tersia De Kock, Alison Wilson, Caitlin Frisby and all the other hearX Foundation NPC champions who are changing mindsets to make ear and hearing care a reality for all! #WorldHearingDay #HearingForAll #HearingHealth #WHO #hearingaids #hearingloss #hearingcare

Happy World Hearing Day 2025! Today’s theme—“Changing Mindsets about Hearing Loss”—resonates deeply with me. It’s a reminder that hearing loss is not just a clinical condition, but a human experience that deserves understanding, support, and respect. I’ve come to appreciate that our perceptions around hearing loss can either limit or liberate those affected. By challenging outdated beliefs and embracing inclusive attitudes, we open doors to better communication, stronger communities, and enriched lives. Let’s use today as a catalyst for conversation: ? Share stories that highlight resilience and innovation in the face of hearing loss ? Educate ourselves and others on the realities of hearing challenges ? Advocate for environments that support everyone’s right to be heard Together, we can shift perspectives and create a more inclusive future. #WorldHearingDay2025 #ChangingMindsets #HearingLossAwareness

It’s World Hearing Day! And it’s time to take responsibility for our hearing. Let’s empower ourselves to hear for life ??

Empower Yourself for Ear and Hearing Care - Why World Hearing Day Matters: Hearing loss is more common than many people realize. Globally, over 1.5 billion people experience some form of hearing loss, and that number is expected to rise. By 2050, nearly 2.5 billion people may be living with some degree of hearing loss. Many cases of hearing loss are preventable, yet over one billion young people are at risk of avoidable hearing loss. This isn’t just an issue for older adults; it affects people of all ages. The WHO Make Listening Safe initiative aims to reduce this risk by advocating for safe listening habits. Here are some safe listening tips: * Keep the volume down on personal listening devices. * Take breaks when listening to music through headphones. * Limit your exposure to loud sounds. * Be aware of the signs of hearing loss, such as ringing in the ears (tinnitus) or difficulty hearing conversations. * If you have to shout to be heard by someone an arm's length away, it's too noisy. #healthyhearing #safelistening #worldhearingday2025

Empower Yourself for Ear and Hearing Care: Why World Hearing Day Matters Every year on March 3rd, the world observes World Hearing Day, a crucial event to raise awareness about hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care. This isn't just about a single day; it's a global movement to ensure everyone can enjoy the sounds of life to the fullest. This year, the focus is on empowering individuals to take control of their hearing health throughout their lives. Hearing loss is more common than many people realize. Globally, over 1.5 billion people experience some form of hearing loss, and that number is expected to rise. By 2050, nearly 2.5 billion people may be living with some degree of hearing loss. Many cases of hearing loss are preventable, yet over one billion young people are at risk of avoidable hearing loss. This isn’t just an issue for older adults; it affects people of all ages. Unaddressed hearing loss can significantly impact a person's life, leading to difficulties in communication, education, and employment, as well as feelings of social isolation. That's why early identification and intervention are critical. World Hearing Day 2025 is about taking action. See the infographic attached as to what you can do to empower yourself and others for better ear and hearing care.
